A pledge by the United States to honour its trade commitments would still leave Canada dangerously exposed to Buy American restrictions in the massive economic-stimulus package.

    I think that the Conservatives are wishful thinking. Canada will be screwed without the Buy American provision being taken totally out of this bill.

    I said it before (in another context) and I will say it again...

    The world is bigger than North America alone...

    True, but Canada needs to and hasn't up to this point, really gone aggressively after markets outside North America. If we had and been successful, the Buy American provision would not matter.

    Which is exactly what I mean.

    You can't rely on 1 customer only, no matter how large or good he might be. Once they stop buying from you, you're screwed. Isn't that business management rule #1?
